XP OEM to Vista Retail Upgrade EULA question

microsoft.public.windows.vista.installation setup

I'm planning on upgrading from XP Home edition OEM to the Vista Retail
upgrade edition.

With the OEM edition I bought when I built my computer I know I was
responsible for my own tech support, but if I upgrade with the retail version
upgrade for home premium do I get the same tech support features as if I buy
the full retail version? Or is it considered an OEM and thus be not supported
(since the license is incorporated between the new upgrade and the old
software version?)- if that's the case I'd rather get the 40$ cheaper OEM
Vista to install.
